Family Engagement
Family Engagement
Parent/Family involvement is the participation of parents in every facet of the education and development of children from birth to adulthood, recognizing that parents are the primary influence in their children's lives. Effective parent involvement takes many forms, including:
• Communicating
• Parenting
• Student learning
• Volunteering
• School decision making and advocacy
• Collaborating with the community

By working together with the schools, parents and families can have an even greater influence. They can encourage their children to excel, build self-esteem, and reinforce skills being taught through the schools.
